I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Me. Only Pixelfed, Mastodon and Lemmy for two or three years. I dont feel like I miss anything and in fact find it much healthier, especially Pixelfed. I never really used Instagram but love my Pixelfed feed of art and photography.

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

Yeah, I think you mis-read my comment and that we agree :)

I think their point is that in a large enough group there will be people who you cease to regard as peers.

I think a much more stable option would be morals defining your identity and being loyal to that.

I’m glad you posted the question - good to think about.

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

I use Jami and Session. Interested to check out SimpleX Chat though.

It certainly is!

Celery makes all soups taste pro 👌

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

If you subscribe to hashtags for your interests from a Pixelfed account I’m sure you will find artists and art that you like. There are some wonderful artists on the Fediverse and it’s how I find most of the artists and art that I like these days.

Some that I particularly like right now:

• @rmiddleton.art@pixelfed.art - abstract expressionism

• @humanum@mastodon.art - digital watercolour ‘bio-fantasy’

• @atomicker@mstdn.ca - 1900s Japanese Shin-hanga prints from various artists

I sometimes see artists offering prints but I’m sure most artists would be approachable about making them for you if you’d like to buy one.

Unless the people around you were also doing the same then I think you would still be exposed to polluted views and knowledge.

Do you find that Writefreely federates well? I’ve tried hosting it a couple of times but my accounts weren’t discoverable on many other Fediverse instances. I never got to the bottom of why. I really like it though and would love for it to work out.

I don’t have any experience with bipolar but I just wanted to say how great it is to see all of this support and reassurance in the comments. This is the internet at its best.

Small.

Far away.

Awesome, looking forward to checking it out ✊ Bandwagon looks like a great platform as well - good choice!

It is an honest question with zero subtext. You’re free to mock me if you want but the post is intended for honest and sincere discussion about people’s lives.

And is that typical in the culture you’re from?
